Having read the first in the series and jumping right into this one, while it is good there were too many characters introduced for my brain to handle. I felt a bit lost in places. Otherwise it moved quickly and had a shocking ending.

This book gripped me from the first chapter. By starting in the past and immediately making your heart ache for the family from the start, I felt invested. Iona is a bit chatty (well done with the writing, her nervous chatter definitely comes through) but the story was well written and the bonds that unite the characters make you long for the same

Loved it

What is there to not love about this book?! A cute, thriving small town, an incredible family that loves and supports each other and friends who are there through it all. Finding out the the series is based on the real locations that are central to Roberts life was the icing on the cake. I loved Clare's story, she is the kind of mom we are strive to be. See the relationship grow between Bennett and her boys was wonderful, it wasn't just about his love for her but for all of them. The ending was perfect

Laura engages the reader from the start! We’ll written and an easy read.

This one was good but had to skip a couple of parts when listening with my 7-year old grandson

Such a great story with wonderful social anxiety representation! Detailed characters and wonderful development. Highly recommend!

My daughter and I read This children’s book together. Raccoons are super cute yet you have to be careful near them because they can carry diseases.

Great

I like the moons and stars in the pictures.
